This was an image where I was surprised how it turned out after seeing it on my monitor. The street looked pitoresque - the reason why I took the shot. But I really could not imagine how the colors turned out until I saw the capture.

Gamla Stan, Stockholm, Sweden
Click through to the large size, it's really more fun!

Thomas,
Good picture. Gamla Stan (the old town in english) is very nice during summermonths. A few churches, very nice restaurants and quite old buildings. And as you say, pitoresque narrow streets.

And as you can see in this particular picture, there are small gardens on the roofs where people live.

Nice picture !

From wikipedia:
The town dates back to the 13th century, and consists of medieval alleyways, cobbled streets, and archaic architecture. North German architecture has had a strong influence in the Old Town's construction.
